    Ben understood how I wanted my haircut from a quick explanation and 2 random merged photos! He "gets" hair. Would def recommend and will be back.

    Had my hair cut today by Ben. Found Gingko purely by chance as it's near where I'm staying in Brighton. Staff were chatty and friendly, and Ben listened to my ideas about cutting and styling, giving excellent advice. I came away with a great cut, and felt very at ease throughout. Would definitely recommend Ben as a stylist and I hope to visit again in future!

    Ben's been doing my hair for more years than I care to remember and I always love the cut. But equally as important to me, is that I love the chat too. I always look forward to my regular visits to Ginkgo Hair.
